Reedwater turns a fishing trip into a thoughtful contest of timing. Move your boat between river bends, choose a depth and match your tackle to the fish passing through. The biggest catch is tempting, but a reliable shallow cast can keep your basket ahead.
A changing river card shifts the best fishing spots each round. You will weigh a useful catch now against a better position later, with everyone watching the same water.

A useful catch, or a better position?
You can see a fish that suits your tackle near the boat, but the river also offers a tempting bend farther away. Think about the current card before moving. Reedwater invites you to read a shared situation, make a supported cast and accept that the water can change before your next turn.
Make room for the river
Choose this box when two to four people want a fishing theme with decisions about timing. Keep the current and tackle cards easy to identify during the explanation. If you prefer shaping your own puzzle at a steadier pace, compare Canopy Routes before ordering.
